Abstract

FOLCH GONZALEZ, Ramón  and  LOZADA TOLEDO, Josuhé. Rock art at Lake Miramar, Chiapas. Styles and temporalities. LiminaR [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.1, e888.  Epub Sep 12, 2022. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v20i1.888.

This article analyses rock art at Lake Miramar, Ocosingo, Chiapas, and compares it to similar manifestations in the region in an attempt to perfect a typology based on styles and pigments. Paintings and rock carvings were documented using photographs, DStrech software, and drawings. We propose linking patterns in style and pigments, near bodies of water, to Late Preclassic, Postclassic, and Historic/ Colonial periods. We also outline and discuss the research on rock art in Chiapas and especially in the Lacandon Jungle. The proposed outline brings together various descriptive studies in order to interpret factors such as religion, landscape, and pilgrimage.

Keywords : rock art; Postclassic; rock carvings; pigments; Lacandon; lake archaeology.
